ACHD London 2012 It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 8th Advanced Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult. This biennial meeting returns to London in 2012, back to the Royal College of Surgeons of England in the heart of central London. The meeting has grown in popularity over the years, but the objective remains constant: to provide a forum for discussion on the latest clinical, surgical and scientific developments in the world of adult congenital cardiology. In devising the programme, we hope to have met this objective and we would like to encourage everyone attending to make the most of the discussion time to air their own views, issues and difficult cases. We have also made time in the agenda for social interaction and networking with friends and colleagues, old and new. We encourage you to join us in London for what promises to be the most prominent and stimulating event in the ACHD 2012 calendar. 8th Advanced Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult 24th and 25th September 2012 Royal College of Surgeons of England 35-43 Lincoln s Inn Field London WC2A 3PE UK Course Directors: Prof. Michael A Gatzoulis Mr Darryl F Shore Host Institution: and the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College, London
